I used to see zero to minimal value in having platonic female friends. If we’re not hooking up, I’d rather hang out with my boys anyway, so what was the point?
Well, I’ll tell you what the point is...dread.
When you’re in an LTR, having female friends will level the playing field a bit. You’ll be able to pull the same bs shit your girl occasionally does with orbiters / platonic male friends.
“Oh he’s just a friend...”
Well yeah, maybe he is, but what your girl also instinctively realizes is that a friend of the opposite sex isn’t just a friend, it’s a friend who you could maybe fuck. This instills pretty significant dread. They’re aware of this, hence part of the reason they love telling you about their orbiters to begin with.
Plus your girl won’t be able to get mad at you if some random chicks’ names keep popping up on your phone. You’ve already used the “she’s just a friend” defense in valid context before. Your girl knows you have “platonic” female friends, so now you have a shield if you’re flirting (or whatever - amoral) on the side.
Not only that, your girl may actually start texting and communicating with her orbiters / male friends less, since you’ve flipped the script and put it in terms her solipsism finally understands.
A friend of the opposite sex isn’t just a friend, it’s a friend who you could def maybe fuck.
Use this dread to your advantage.
